Moved seat way back, suspecting Leg Press is the culprit in my unprecedented lower back pain these past 3 days. That has actually never happened to me ever. Also pulled down on the handles with all my might and worried about keeping back as straight as a deadlift.

With the seat farther back, 230 today was much easier than 200 last week with seat moved farther up.

Hammer Strength Iso Low Row70/140: 12, 12, 12

With the fixed path of the machine, these hit my brachoradialis at the top, which db rows never did.

You can tell exactly when your lats gave out because about 3 reps later your bi's and tri's start burning.

I was pretty much resigned to coming in dead last, not one single other male lifter was going to combine lower than me, but its funny how the deadlift changes things. It was casual so we didn't keep much track, but the deadlift evened us out pretty well.

One of the two guys in my general range went for broke on his 3rd squat.

Missed the 2nd bench for the strangest reason. I had drifted forward and was grinding it, but had it, when the spotter reached forward to soon. Just seeing his hands caused me to lose concentration and I missed the lift. That's never happened to me before, guess there's a first time for everything.

Trainer wants to refocus on the foundation, going for lighter reps and absolute perfect form to re-learn and emphasize various cues, especially pulling back with lats and keeping back neutral (no rounding).

2" Deficit Deadlift315: 3325: 3, 3, 3

Sumo Deadlift225: 4, 4, 4, 4

Never really did these before at all, so this was all "first date" kind of stuff.

NemoNormally Saturday is a morning workout but that was not happening today, all of LI was shut down and I could not get to the gym, and probably nobody would have been there if I could. Today's workout was at home much later in the day.

This would be a session with my trainer, so in lieu of that I did last week's workout with increased weights
